Are you taking full advantage of your union membership to keep money in your wallet? As a member of the Citrus College Adjunct Faculty Federation (CCAFF) you also hold membership in California Teachers Federation (CFT) and the American Teachers Federation (AFT). These memberships allow you to take part in the Union Plus Membership Perks Plan, otherwise known as Abenity.

Abenity has multiple connections to things that we use daily: phone discounts, groceries, auto buying, appliance purchases, as well as many other areas which might interest you. All these come with discounts greater than those that might be offered through either AAA or AARP.

Take a few minutes to log into aft.org/benefits to start your journey. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised to see all the possibilities you have for stretching your dollars. Once you get to the Abenity area, register to take advantage of what they have to offer and take a minute or two to see their welcome video.

Many of the savings come from places where we would normally do business: Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, just to name a few. There is even a section where you can find ways to “Save $25,” and you are also able to find printable grocery coupons which you can download and take to the store with you as you pick up your weekly groceries.

Be proactive and make your union membership work for you. Log in today – I’ll bet you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
